FAQ - Your questions? We got answers!

Which Web Design package should I choose?

Please contact us if you are unsure which package to choose. Our design team will collect the information from you and give you an estimate on your requirements.

All packages can be tailored to your needs.

How Much Do You Charge For Website Design?

Our website design packages start at R3,000.00 for a basic 5-page website and include Super Hosting for 12 months.

Pricing for other services and functionality are outlined separately to help you determine and control the amount of your investment. We also provide our clients with a detailed estimate before any work begins.

What is a “Page” Design?

Web design itself refers to the process of creating a web page’s appearance and to the choice of a right color scheme, page layout, fonts and more. Every single web page in a website has different content, but all the pages are using a similar graphic design. Advertising Solutions makes use of website templates, which contain all the basic elements of web design – the website’s CSS style, buttons, backgrounds, borders and various graphic elements like hover images, bullets and header banners. When the website template is applied to the website, all the pages assume its appearance, using the same styles, background and other graphical elements.

But most of the pages in a website have their own design elements. This is needed because every page has to present different content, and the basic website style is not fully applicable for all the web pages. For example, designing a contact form will sometimes require a custom layout and design elements with which to handle the form’s fields, buttons, drop-down menus, etc. All these styles, layouts, images, etc. are often not applicable for the other website pages. So, the contact page uses the basic website template for the menus, backgrounds, header images, etc. but also has its own web page design, including the contact form’s design itself and all the other elements specific for that page.

Most small businesses only require up to 4 pages to be designed, for example; Home, About us, Services and Contact us.

What information/content do you need from me to design my website?

We need all the information that you would like to have on your website, this includes the following:

Written Content: This would be anything like the services you provide, products you sell, company information, etc. Usually a company profile will suffice.

Images/Photographs: Your logo, images and photos (Please enquire if you do not have this available)

How long does it take to design and build a website?

The time it takes to produce a website depends on the size and complexity of your site. A basic 5-page website typically takes around 2-7 days while large e-Commerce sites can take up to 14 days from beginning to end.

Will my website work on mobile devices?

Yes, using responsive design we ensure our sites work on all devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets and mobiles.

Do you build mobile apps?

No, we don’t – but we do make our websites work on all devices. Developing an app for mobiles and tablets across the range of different platforms can be an expensive task, and in some cases can be resolved with a responsive website.

REPAYMENT PLAN

How does the repayment plan work?

Upon acceptance of the quotation, we require a 50% deposit payment before the start of the project. The balance or outstanding amount has to be paid after we have completed the project.

With the repayment plan, you are able to repay us the balance or outstanding amount over 3 months. However, failure to make payments will result in immediate suspension of your account.

WEBSITE HOSTING

What is Web Hosting?

When you design a website and want other people to see it, you will need to publish (or upload) it with a web hosting service.

Web hosting services work by storing your website files in high-powered computers (web servers) connected to a very fast network. When someone types in your web address (such as www.advertisingsolutions.co.za), the Internet connects to the web server holding your website files and then transfers your website information back to their computer. From there they can surf and view the pages of your website.

DOMAIN NAME

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name (www.yourcompanyname.co.za) is essentially your company’s Internet address; the same way your company’s street address is used to find your offices, a domain name is used to find your website. Consider this: Pick a domain name that’s memorable and relevant!

NUMBER OF STOCK PHOTOS

Stock photos are professionally taken photographs that we can buy online to use commercially, without having to stress over copy-right issues. It can be used to enhance your website or in marketing material.

Stock photos can save you quite a bit of time and money, as you do not have to hire a photographer just to have some quality images for your website. While stock images cover a broad range of applications, it can be difficult to acquire pictures for a certain niche, or a specific product.

NUMBER OF SLIDES

What is a slider?

A banner slider is comprised of images and text on multiple slides, allowing you to rotate content on a single space on your website. It’s most commonly the first thing you see (apart from the logo and menu) on a website’s home page. The purpose of the slider is to catch the attention of the viewer while being visually appealing and easy to read. It can be used to display selected information, such as promotions or highlighting specific products or services, and can also be used to easily navigate your site.

How many should I use?

This is dependable on the amount of content you have on your website. Small websites that do not have much information 1-2 sliders will be enough. Websites with more pages and content to market will require more sliders to make the navigation of the site easily digestible for the viewer, while promoting certain products or content. We do not recommend more than 5 slides, as we find that most viewers spend a few minutes on your home page before moving on to another page and won’t view more than 5 slides.

WEBSITE TYPE

Standard Website Design

This design is for the general purpose of getting your company’s information out on the internet and reaching potential customers. This does not include an online store/eCommerce, directories or custom development. As we use WordPress, you will also have the option of logging in to your website and doing some small changes yourself if you choose.

Online Store/eCommerce

This design option is for selling your products online, as well as having your information online and reaching potential customers. This includes payment gateway integration such as Payfast and EFT and also includes up to 50 individual products. If you have more products you can simply load them in yourself by logging into the backend of your website, where you can also manage your inventory and take stock. If you have a large selection and would prefer us to do it, we can assist you with loading all your products for an additional fee.

NUMBER OF PAGES

Most websites are comprised of 4 pages, eg: Home, About, Services/Products and Contact.

Your Home page welcomes the viewer, with a general summary of your company and what you have to offer. It also helps the viewer easily navigate your site. Your About page may list company history, your mission and vision, team members, company values or any information regarding your company.

Your Products or Services page is where you expand on the products or services you have. Your Contact page lists all your contact details, such as your physical address, contact number and email address. It is also good to have an enquiry form so potential clients can easily get in contact with you.

These are just the most common pages used, the amount of pages will depend on the amount of information you have.
